SinoGuide Guiding Catheter

Overview

SinoGuide is a dual-layer reinforced guiding catheter with a stainless-steel braid, a Teflon (PTFE) inner layer and a patented polymer (Pebax) outer coating, using Hybrid Braiding Technology to increase the inner lumen. It has five stiffness zones from proximal to distal and a soft, atraumatic tip. Available 5F–8F with a range of curves, with or without side holes, delivering a 1:1 axial control system with resistance to twisting and axial breakage.

Key features

• Dual-layer wall: stainless-steel braid, Teflon inner, Pebax outer
• Five stiffness zones from proximal to distal
• Soft, atraumatic tip
• 1:1 axial control; resistant to twisting and axial breakage
• Models available with or without side holes

Clinical applications

• Device delivery and backup support during PCI
• Coronary ostial engagement
• Angiosurgery / complex interventions

Intended use

The SinoGuide guiding catheter for coronary interventions offers excellent manoeuvrability and support thanks to its braided structure and polymer materials, with high torque ability and resistance for precise manoeuvres in complex anatomy. It delivers interventional devices to the coronary arteries during PCI.

Key benefits

• Soft, atraumatic tip — reduced layers at the tip ensure softness and safety.
• Large lumen — braided flat-wire construction increases lumen size for a smooth, compatible path for multiple devices.
• Multi-segment design — a stiff segment gives 1:1 torque response; coaxial segments ease device insertion into the coronary artery.
